On today's podcast we were able to talk to Dr. Katie Swanson. She is one of the Pediatric dentists at Pediatric Dental Specialists of West Michigan. She works with Dr. Stephanie Kloonstra out of their beautiful office located in Grand Rapids off of East Paris Ave. We talked about what age you should start bringing your child to the dentist, why a pediatric dentist might be the right choice for your kiddo's dental needs, and how mouth ties can effect your feeding (breast/chest/bottle) journey in unexpected ways. We learned so much from Katie!

S2E19: Melissa's Birth Stories

Melissa had her first baby in 2016. Overall things went well, but she did end up with a second degree tear. After this birth, Melissa had a procedure called a sphincterotomy. She was told any future births would need to be a cesarean or she would risk further tearing and may end up needing a colostomy bag. Melissa had accepted this, but when she became pregnant with her second, she wanted to explore all of her options.

Melissa went on to have 3 more vaginal births without tearing! Listen to hear how she advocated for herself and how her 4th birth experience was different while having a doula. She also shares her experience being readmitted 3 days later with postpartum preeclampsia and shares some of her favorite postpartum resources.
